    interesting thought. we haven’t had photos in history, and people didn’t need them. also, we’ve been able to produce text deepfakes all throughout history (and people actually did that - a lot) and somehow, humanity still survived and made progress. maybe we should question our assumptions whether we really need a medium to communicate absolute truth.

      Humanity never needed truth, for all of that. Only a good enough illusion.

      It’s just that, most of the times the illusions are not good enough and the truth comes out.
